◆◇◇

The moment Shizumi and Izuku broke through the walls that encased Lemillion and Chisaki with anger thundering in their eyes and tightly grit teeth, the green-haired boy launched himself right at the enemy, and the redhead towards Lemillion and destroyed the spikes with her fist, making him bleed all through.

No more.

She held Lemillion's body in her hands, "W-What are you two doing here?" Shizumi didn't answer him and carried him back to where his cape was, and her eyes softened immediately at Eri.

Eri's eyes widened slowly as she recognized the pretty woman from before, the one that given her the best chocolate she'd ever eaten, and the one that she left from the arms of to protect. 

Nighteye and Aizawa joined her and Mirio, "Nighteye! Ardour! Quick!" Aizawa called. "Secure those who've been injured!"

I'm already doing that though. After she put Lemillion down and earned a low thanks from him, she turned to Eri, who flinched back at the attention. Shizumi pulled up her brightest smile in this dirty situation and held her hand forward to the girl.

Take my hand.

Her eyes said, and Eri looked hesitant, but she wanted to feel that warmth again. That warmth reminded her of the spring breeze that she'd only felt after she ran away and met her. The warm hand that told her everything was okay.

She took it, and Shizumi smiled even brightly at her.

She's right in front of me.

She's finally with me, in my hands, and I swear, I'll never let go again.

I will keep her safe, Izuku. Fight to your heart's content, and beat Overhaul up for me too...!

Shizumi turned around hand in hand with the girl, and finally got a good look at the situation in this room. Midoriya had just swung his arm at Overhaul earlier, and the villain had slammed back into the room across, tearing up the ground as he went.

Her gaze fell on two other people, both wearing witch doctor masks just like the boss. They too had been two of Overhaul's inner circle members. 

One lay not too far away from his master, a white robe covering his small body; whilst the other one wore a black robe and a black witch hat, and was lying unconscious between a broken wall, gun in hand.

A...A gun?!

Who gave him a gun?!

She darted her eyes back to Togata and placed his hand on his wounds, Crap. I was too focused on Eri! Togata, stay with me!! She pressed onto his wound and began using her quirk, but he only grunted in response to her actions. "Get...Get Eri out of here..." He strangled out. "Please...get her out..."

Shizumi turned over to the girl in her other hand, seeing her sob at Lemillion. "L-Lemillion..." More tears escaped her as she peaked at Mirio. "He's hurt. He'll kill him." Nighteye took the boy in his hands and called out to him.

"Mirio, rest," he murmured with a shaky voice. "I've got you now. You were amazing. You found her, Mirio." Shizumi knew that he held special emotions for Mirio, but she didn't think it was enough to make him cry like this. After she was finally able to heal up the boy, he took heavy breaths from exhaustion. Shizumi grinned at him one last time, before turning to the little girl behind her.

She took out her device with the hand she held Eri with. "No, he won't. Eri, it's going to be okay! We're all here to save you!" She was a little confused about why the hero wrote that down rather than saying, it but didn't ask considering how rude it was.
